TV Review: Darknet (2013)

Summary: Each episode revolves around a horror-related scenario in which the people post to a website called Darknet where people post videos of them murdering someone and people ask questions like how to get rid of a body.

My Thoughts: While browsing on Netflix looking for a good horror flick, I was genuinely surprised to find a horror television show on there and I must say, I do not regret the decision at all. Well, except the fact that I watched all six episodes at 3 a.m when I had class the next morning.

Everything about it was great, it was different because its a television show and not a film, but it was also the acting was brilliant. These people acted like normal, stupid horror movie-esque people, but then the twist came out of nowhere and they turned into this wonderfully, crazy psychopaths.

While this show is most likely a rip off of V/H/S, it does everything that V/H/S did not. By that I mean keeping me glued to the screen every second and making the scares both unpredictable and realistic and I was very, very impressed by it. It's captivating, its brutal and filled with great scares. I had to literally run to the bathroom because I was terrified someone was going to break into my home and murder me. With it being only six episodes, it was a relief that I wasn't bored with the watching it over and over again, but I also want more.

Hopefully, there is a second season for this Netflix would be brain deal not to get the second season up and going.So being an ode to V/H/S, but being better. I guarantee this will be worth your time. So, please go take a look at Darknet.
